Missouri Lottery Winner Sets Sights on Caribbean Cruise

Patricia Jeambey of Advance is looking forward to a high-seas adventure after uncovering a $100,000 prize on a Missouri Lottery Scratchers ticket. The 57-year-old said she and her husband, Jim, will use the windfall to pay bills, save for retirement and set sail on a Caribbean cruise to celebrate their 30th anniversary next month.

“It was so exciting,” Jeambey recalled, referring to the moment she realized she was holding a winning “$1,000,000 Classic Cash” ticket. “There were five or six different winners on there, and each time I scratched another one, my heart just started beating a little bit faster.”
